I've got a 1975 2.0 engine on carbs.
Engine is in good shape, but I might go to a 6 in the future. In the mean time where are the biggest HP bangs for the buck for my 2.0? (Assume everything is stock other than the carbs, and going back to fuel injection is not an option) Thanks in advance |

Web 494 cam and matching lifters
96mm KB flat top pistons. Bore out your stock jugs. 2L valves. No head gasket. Eurorace header. 90% of your money will be in the heads. This was my engine before I started the EFI project. It was decidedly woke up VS a stock 2L. These days you can get way better heads done through Len's shop. Zach |

Thanks! While aftermarket rods are nice, is there a practical power and Rpm limit that the stock rods are safe within? |
